The British government plans to shut down a part of Sellafield MOX Plant (SMP), a northern UK plant, as soon as possible after Japan's worst nuclear disaster.

The British government plans to close a part of Sellafield MOX Plant nuclear plant.

The trade union, representing more than 800 SMP workers, said: "The decision affected by the Japanese government's funding after the earthquake and tsunami was forced to shut down the Fukushima nuclear reactor. Daiichi in March ".

According to British nuclear inspectors, SMP can operate normally because there is no risk of Japanese-like disasters. So the government's decision is a "shocking and strange" reaction, said Kevin Coyne, a member of the union.

Meanwhile, the British government is planning to build a new nuclear plant, in order to maintain power supply and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
